Introduction

Xena OpenAutomation Core (XOA Core) is an open-source test suite framework for network automation and testing. It is designed to host various XOA Test Suites as plugins, allowing users to create, manage, and run test cases for different network scenarios. The XOA Core framework serves as the foundation for building and executing test suites in the XOA ecosystem.

Key features of XOA Core include:

1. Modular architecture: The test suite framework employs a modular architecture, enabling users to develop and run different test suites as plugins.

2. Test Suite execution: XOA Core supports both local and remote test suite execution. Users can execute test suites on their local machines or on remote testbeds through the XOA CLI or Web GUI.

3. Test Case management: XOA Core provides tools for managing test cases, including creating, updating, and deleting them. Users can also organize test cases using tags and execute them in parallel or sequentially.

4. Extensibility: The framework is designed to be extensible, allowing users to develop custom test suites and plugins to address specific testing requirements.

5. Logging and reporting: XOA Core offers built-in logging and reporting functionality, generating detailed test reports to help users analyze test results and identify issues.

The official documentation provides a comprehensive guide on how to install, configure, and use XOA Core. It covers topics such as setting up the environment, creating test suites, executing test cases, and analyzing test results. The documentation also includes a reference for XOA Core’s API and example test suites to help users get started with their test automation projects.
